hI;
I hooked up my sound system the other day. i hear surround sound when i use the new srrnd system to play dvd's. but when i try to play the tv through the surrnd system nothing comes out. i have it set up in the aux setting in the surround system and in the audio out in my tv. still nothing comes out.. can someone tell me what may be happening

First thing, need a breakdown of the components to better understand the problem. This means Make & model of TV, how do you have it hooked up to the Surround system, and have you followed the instructions? You can double check everything by looking at the manual for the TV to make sure that Sound Pass-Through is enabled, and that the connections are correct.

basicly on the tv i have a audio out plug and on the surround sound i have auxulry with l& r red& white. i have one single cablefrom the audio out on the tv, this splits into a y with one red cable and one white cable. they are going into the aux. it tells me to switch to aux in the surrnd system and i should hear what the tv is putting out but i get nothing just some static and very very faint muffled& distorted voices.

That will make no change in how the sound is passed from the tV to the Surround sound. If the sound is okay out of the TV, but not on the Surround sound, it is a hookup issue on the Surround system, and TV set.

we don't have cable our tv is running from the antenna on the roof which connects to the tv with a standard tv cable. the surround sound system is hooked up with hdmi cable to the tv so i can use its dvd player.

Then, you are outputing Sound & Video to the TV. Now, from the TV to the Sound system, did you follow the directions in the manual for the TV to connect said set to a Stereo/AV system, and go into the menu to allow for Pass-Through.

As prev. requested, what is the manufacturer & model of the TV & sound systems.
